Sob Stories

Daniel Bradbury
I've lost a love I've never had.
A Sob Story.
Sarah's mistreated the love that wrapped her life in a warm blanket on a cold, bitter day. She's lost the love that would give her his teeth.
A Sob Story.
Jason's love has flown away to Sin City. She cracked his surface of cynicality but it healed over twice as thick. He talks about his feelings now.
A Sob Story.
Sawyer's lost the love that completed what he's always had. He's lost the perfection that made the two of them together the twin of God. He drinks with me, now.
A Sob Story.
Ryan needs a love to kick himself straight and clean. He's seen love in the eyes of so many who didn't know their own power over another human soul. He's too high to see, now.
A Sob Story.
Stephanie is pregnant and engaged. I trust her when she says that she's found love. I don't like him. I only want the best for her, but what I wouldn't do for one more chance at her.
A Sob Story.
Chad got dumped in the summer. He gave her all his money, bought new shoes and started walking California. I haven't talked to him in months.
A Sob Story.
Geoff's still after his dream, fucking as many women as possible. He hasn't found love, yet, and may not until later life when his sex drive subsides.
A Sob Story.
Nathan is still in love with the perfect mate for himself; Himself. He speaks so deep, and true, but it's all bullshit. It's the story of his courtship with himself.
A Sob Story.
I've lost a love I've never had.
Just smile and walk away.
